The following Terms of Use apply between
AMBOSS SE
Torstrasse 19
10119 Berlin
("AMBOSS")
and the respective user who registers via the website www.amboss.com/us ("Authorized User").
2.1. AMBOSS is, as between the Parties, the rights holder, provider and operator of the online knowledge and learning Program "AMBOSS", which AMBOSS makes available via next.amboss.com/us/ and the AMBOSS iOS app and Android app on a monthly basis (hereinafter: "AMBOSS Program"). The AMBOSS Program generally consists of AMBOSS Membership and AMBOSS Courses. Depending on the offer selected, the subject matter of the contract may be AMBOSS Membership, AMBOSS Courses, or both
2.2. AMBOSS Membership is a digital companion for medical students, doctors, nurses and other professionals working in the healthcare sector or related educational fields. It is designed for education, professional training and continuous medical development. For this purpose, AMBOSS Membership includes study plans, practice questions, practice exercises, performance evaluations, study recommendations, AI exam simulations and learning assistants/chatbots as well as clinical resources such as medical articles, medical calculators, drug databases, and AI assistants/chatbots.
2.3. AMBOSS Courses can be booked with or without an existing AMBOSS Membership. They are not included in AMBOSS Membership. AMBOSS Courses are aimed at doctors, healthcare professionals, and others working in the healthcare sector, and serve to deepen, refresh, and expand medical knowledge. They may include structured live seminars, case discussions, interactive courses, and practice-oriented knowledge content based on current scientific evidence and legal requirements. Participation in live seminars allows direct interaction with instructors. Booked AMBOSS Courses are always activated for a period of at least two months within the AMBOSS Program. Details on the respective course duration can be found in the offer description. AMBOSS Courses are designed to be completed within this course duration. Users who also have access to the AMBOSS Program through a separate AMBOSS Membership may continue to access the course content for an additional ten months for reference purposes without additional fees.
2.4. All information provided in the AMBOSS Program refers to the medical standard in the United Sates of America, including without limitation standards for diagnostic and/or therapeutic procedures, even though they may differ in other countries. Similarly, all information provided in the AMBOSS Program with regard to the use of commercial medical products refers to the regulatory approval status of the respective medical product in the United States of America. In other countries, the respective regulatory approval status may differ.
2.5. The professional editorial team of AMBOSS consists of numerous medical professionals from different medical specialties. This editorial team adds new and/or updated content to the AMBOSS Program in a structured, collaborative process. However, the parties understand and acknowledge that the AMBOSS Program cannot contain a comprehensive, up-to-date presentation of all medical information.
2.6. The information contained in the AMBOSS Program does not constitute binding diagnostic, treatment and therapy suggestions. Diagnostic, treatment and therapy decisions as well as other patient care decisions derived from the use of the AMBOSS Program are the sole responsibility of the respective user. The use of the AMBOSS Program does not release the user from his obligation to make decisions on his own responsibility on the basis of the current state of science and research. In this respect, the information contained in the AMBOSS Program must be reviewed in relation to the specific individual case, taking into account the individual patient's characteristics.
2.7. The use of AI-supported functions provided within the AMBOSS Program (“AMBOSS AI Features”) is permitted exclusively for informational and educational purposes. They are in no way intended to serve as diagnostic or treatment tools, to provide certainty with respect to a diagnosis, to recommend a particular product or therapy or to otherwise substitute for the clinical judgment of a qualified healthcare professional. The user assumes full and sole responsibility for evaluating the information provided. For more information see Section 9 of the AMBOSS Terms of Use.
2.8. If users display a translation of the AMBOSS content in a language other than English within the AMBOSS Program, this is an automated machine translation using an interface to an AI-supported translator. The translated content is not part of the AMBOSS Program. The Institutional Partner understands and agrees that AMBOSS itself does not perform the translation and cannot check the translated content. In particular, AMBOSS does not carry out any medical review. The machine-translated content does not meet the due diligence and quality standards of AMBOSS. Translation errors cannot be expressly excluded. The machine-translated content does not replace a translation by a linguistically competent specialist, which is recommended.
2.9. These Terms of Use ("AMBOSS Terms of Use") apply exclusively to the use of the AMBOSS Program. Deviating terms and conditions shall not be recognized unless explicitly confirmed by AMBOSS in writing. If special terms of use apply to individual use cases of the AMBOSS Program, this will be indicated at the appropriate place on the website. In this case, the special terms of use shall then apply in addition.
2.10. AMBOSS does not guarantee that the AMBOSS Program can be used via the public transmission lines used by the Authorized User and on the Authorized User's own data communication devices.
2.11. AS BETWEEN THE PARTIES, AMBOSS SHALL AT ALL TIMES RETAIN ALL RIGHT, TITLE, AND INTEREST IN AND TO THE SERVICES, INCLUDING ALL RELATED PATENT, TRADEMARK, COPYRIGHT, MORAL RIGHTS, AND ANY AND ALL OTHER INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE AMBOSS PROGRAM AND THE SERVICES.
3.1. Registration via www.amboss.com/us is free of charge. By registering, the Authorized User submits its data for later use of the AMBOSS Program. This alone does not give the Authorized User permanent access to the AMBOSS Program.
3.2. Registration is carried out by opening a personal user account. All mandatory fields must be filled in during registration. The Authorized User warrants that all data provided during registration is true and complete. Furthermore, the Authorized User is obliged to keep the data provided up to date at all times. The Authorized User is solely responsible for keeping the chosen password secret and for all activities carried out with the user account. Passing on the password is not permitted. The settings for the user account are adjustable. Before submitting the registration request, the Authorized User has the opportunity to view and correct the information on an overview page. By confirming the registration button, the Authorized User confirms the accuracy of the information provided and agrees to the AMBOSS Terms of Use, which can be viewed and archived at www.amboss.com/us/legal/terms. By completing the registration process, the Authorized User submits an offer to conclude a contract for the storage of his/her data for later use. AMBOSS will confirm receipt of the offer to the Authorized User electronically (registration confirmation). AMBOSS accepts this offer by activating the user account. The language available for the conclusion of the contract is English.
3.3. There is no entitlement to registration. AMBOSS expressly reserves the right to refuse registration requests by not activating the corresponding user account. In addition, AMBOSS is entitled to revoke access to the user account at any time by blocking the access data. There is no obligation to inform the person concerned of the reasons for the rejection or revocation of the user account access authorization.
3.4. Upon registration, the Authorized User may choose to access the AMBOSS Program. The Authorized User can activate a time-limited, free trial access to the AMBOSS Program (see Section 6 of the AMBOSS Terms of Use) or use the AMBOSS Program on the basis of an Institutional License Agreement (see Section 4 of the AMBOSS Terms of Use) or on the basis of an Individual License Agreement (see Section 5. of the AMBOSS Terms of Use). In these cases, AMBOSS provides Authorized Users with access to the English-language AMBOSS Program and its content via the Internet in accordance with the respective usage agreement concluded and the AMBOSS Terms of Use.
3.5. There is no entitlement to registration. AMBOSS expressly reserves the right to reject registration requests by not activating the corresponding user account. In addition, AMBOSS is entitled at any time to revoke access to the user account by blocking the access data. There is no obligation to inform the person concerned of the reasons for the rejection or revocation of user account access authorization.
3.6. The Authorized User can request the deletion of his user account and thus his registration at any time in writing, e.g. via the corresponding function within the user account. In this case, AMBOSS will delete all usage data relating to the Authorized User and all other stored personal data of the Authorized User as soon as they are no longer required.
4.1. Authorized Users have the option of activating a so-called clinic or campus license and use the AMBOSS Program on the basis of the AMBOSS Terms of Use. AMBOSS concludes paid contracts with universities, clinics or other institutions in the healthcare sector ("Institutional Partners") who desire to provide their students and educators, or their doctors and other healthcare professionals, with free access to the AMBOSS Program through clinic or campus licenses (hereinafter: "Institutional License Agreement"). This is not a contract for the benefit of third parties, but a contract that contains the authorization of AMBOSS to provide the contractual service to the Authorized Users with discharging effect vis-à-vis the Institutional Partner. The prerequisite for an Authorized User to be able to activate a clinic or campus license to use the AMBOSS Program is that the respective Institutional Partner has provided (possibly personalized) access for this Authorized User in the Institutional License Agreement. The Authorized User can only activate and use the AMBOSS Program if and as long as he or she is authorized and authenticated to do so.
4.2. Before submitting the activation request, the Authorized User has the opportunity to view and correct the information provided on an overview page. By confirming the button marked accordingly, the Authorized User confirms the accuracy of the information provided and agrees to the AMBOSS Terms of Use, which can be viewed and archived at www.amboss.com/us/legal/terms. By completing the activation process, the Authorized User submits an offer to conclude a contract for the use of the AMBOSS Program. AMBOSS will confirm receipt of the offer to the Authorized User electronically (activation confirmation). AMBOSS accepts this offer by activating access to the AMBOSS Program.
4.3. If the Authorized User makes a paid upgrade in the "Shop" section that is not covered by the Institutional License Agreement, the Authorized User undertakes to pay the relevant usage fee. Section 5. of the AMBOSS Terms of Use applies.
4.4. If the Institutional License Agreement ends without a new Institutional License Agreement having been concluded with the same Institutional Partner, or if the Institutional License Agreement is amended so that it no longer provides for access for the Authorized User concerned, the use of the AMBOSS Program for the Authorized User concerned is terminated upon termination or amendment of the Institutional License Agreement. By way of exception, AMBOSS Courses that were activated by the Authorized User during the term of the Institutional License Agreement are always available for a minimum period of two months, regardless of when the Institutional License Agreement has been terminated. If such an AMBOSS Course includes a live event scheduled after termination, the Authorized User shall retain access to the course at least until the live event has taken place.
4.5. Authorized Users who use the AMBOSS Program on the basis of an Institutional License Agreement and who are not themselves parties to a paid agreement concluded with AMBOSS for the use of the AMBOSS Program have no claim whatsoever against AMBOSS for the use of the AMBOSS Program. There is no entitlement to a warranty in the event of defects or failures. In all other respects, liability is subject to the limitations set out in Section 16 of the AMBOSS Terms of Use.
5.1. Authorized Users have the option of using the AMBOSS Program or individual components of the AMBOSS Program, such as an AMBOSS Course, an AMBOSS Membership, or add-ons to an AMBOSS Membership, against payment of a usage fee ("Individual License Agreement"). In this case, the Authorized User is the contractual partner of the license agreement.
5.2. Conclusion of Contract
5.2.1. Before concluding an Individual License Agreement, the Authorized User will be informed about the content of the selected service, the usage fees and the payment modalities. Before completing the order process, AMBOSS will display the entries made by the Authorized User in a confirmation window and give the opportunity to check and, if necessary, correct the entries.
5.2.2. By confirming the correspondingly marked button, the Authorized User declares that he or she desires to conclude a contract for the services selected. In addition, the Authorized User agrees to the AMBOSS Terms of Use. The confirmation of the button constitutes an offer by the Authorized User to conclude a contract. This is binding for a period of 7 working days. AMBOSS expressly reserves the right to accept or reject the contract offer of the Authorized User within this period. There is no entitlement to the conclusion of the contract. AMBOSS will confirm receipt of the offer to the Authorized User electronically (order confirmation).
5.2.3. AMBOSS sends the Authorized User the order data with a confirmation e-mail, which constitutes the acceptance of the contract. The language available for the conclusion of the contract is English.
5.3. Scope of Service
The scope of service that AMBOSS provides on a monthly basis depends on the service selected by the Authorized User and the corresponding offer model. Details on the offer models can be found on the AMBOSS website.
5.4. Usage Fee
5.4.1. Access to the AMBOSS Program is provided at the usage fee corresponding to the selected offer model. The usage fees stated in the offer model may be subject to applicable taxes that AMBOSS may charge. AMBOSS collects the usage fee, plus any applicable taxes, via the selected payment method. AMBOSS reserves the right to change usage fees in the event of printing errors and mistakes.
5.4.2. The usage fee to be paid by the Authorized User must be paid in advance. For an AMBOSS Membership, the recurring usage fee must be paid no later than three (3) working days after the start of each service period. For an AMBOSS Course, the one-time course fee must be paid no later than three (3) working days after conclusion of the course contract. For reasons of simplification, the Authorized User is free to pay the total usage fee for the entire service period or for future service periods in advance.
5.4.3. The usage fee is due regardless of whether and how the Authorized User uses the service. Access to the AMBOSS Program is conditionally activated until payment is received. A delay in payment by the Authorized User entitles AMBOSS to exclude the Authorized User concerned from use until due claims have been settled. In the case of AMBOSS Memberships, AMBOSS is furthermore entitled, after repeated requests for payment, to terminate the contract at the end of the current service period.
5.5. Payment Modalities
5.5.1. By providing the information required for the selected payment method, the Authorized User authorizes the collection of the respective usage fee (plus any applicable taxes). If the Authorized User opts for the SEPA direct debit procedure, he or she issues a SEPA mandate as part of the payment process. The direct debit is collected 1 day after the invoice date (order date). The period for pre-notification is shortened to 1 day. The Authorized User guarantees to ensure that the account is covered. There is no entitlement to the use of a specific means of payment.
5.5.2. The Authorized User shall bear any costs incurred as a result of a chargeback of a payment transaction due to insufficient funds in the account or due to incorrect data provided, plus a processing fee of EUR 5.00.
5.5.3. The Authorized User only has a right of set-off if the claims have been legally established by a court or are undisputed or have been acknowledged in writing by AMBOSS.
5.5.4. The Authorized User may only exercise a right of retention insofar as the claims result from the same contractual relationship.
5.5.5. AMBOSS is responsible for payment transactions via the website and carries out transactions exclusively via SSL-secured connections.
5.6. Changes to the Usage Fee
5.6.1. AMBOSS may increase or decrease the usage fee for Individual License Agreements for AMBOSS Membership at its reasonable discretion in relation to general increases or decreases in external costs incurred by AMBOSS for the provision of its services at the location of the Authorized User. These general cost increases or decreases may be based on legal or regulatory changes, the application of government-imposed fees, taxes, levies or contributions, inflation or deflation, technology and software costs for the services or industry-wide changes. In the event of a change in the amount of the usage fee, AMBOSS will notify the Authorized User by email or other communication in text form at least 30 days prior to the effective date of the fee change. The notification must (i) state which cost factors have increased or decreased and how this affects the increase or decrease in the total price, (ii) the date on which the fee change comes into effect, and (iii) inform the Authorized User of his extraordinary right of termination in accordance with Section 5.6.2. If the Authorized User does not reject the change before it becomes effective for the Authorized User by terminating the Individual License Agreement, AMBOSS will assume that the Authorized User agrees to the change and the change in the usage fee will become effective for the Authorized User on the date specified in the notice to the Authorized User, but in any case not before the next payment cycle.
5.6.2. The Authorized User may terminate the Individual License Agreement without notice within 30 days of receiving notification of the change in the usage fee. The usage fee shall then remain unchanged until the expiry of the notice period.
5.6.3. If the total costs specified in Section 5.6.1. sentences 1 and 2 fall, the Authorized User may demand a reduction in the usage fee in accordance with the requirements of Section 5.6.1. In this case, AMBOSS may terminate the contract extraordinarily in accordance with Section 5.6.2.
5.7. Contract Term and Termination
5.7.1. The term of the Individual License Agreement for AMBOSS Membership depends on the offer model of the selected service. It begins with the activation of the AMBOSS Membership and ends after the expiry of the service period provided for in the offer model, unless the individual license agreement for AMBOSS Membership is extended. The authorization to use the AMBOSS Program ends at the end of the contract term. The user account remains valid after expiry of the contract term.
5.7.2. Authorized Users can terminate their Individual License Agreement for AMBOSS Membership at any time with effect from the next possible termination date via their user account or AMBOSS customer service. The next possible termination date is determined by the respective offer model. Any usage fees paid will not be refunded, even if the Authorized User has not used the AMBOSS Program.
5.7.3. IF THE AUTHORIZED USER DOES NOT INFORM AMBOSS BEFORE THE END OF THE SERVCE PERIOD PROVIDED FOR IN THE OFFER MODEL THAT HE OR SHE DOES NOT WISH TO EXTEND THE CONTRACT, THE AUTHORIZED USER IS AWARE THAT HIS INDIVIDUAL LICENSE AGREEMENT FOR AMBOSS MEMBERSHIP WILL CONTINUE TO RUN AUTOMATICALLY AND AUTHORIZES AMBOSS TO COLLECT THE APPLICABLE USAGE FEE USING THE PAYMENT METHOD PROVIDED BY THE AUTHORIZED USER.
5.7.4. The term of an Individual License Agreement for AMBOSS Courses begins upon activation of the AMBOSS Course within the AMBOSS Program and ends automatically after the course duration specified in the offer description has expired. If an Authorized User has, in addition to the AMBOSS Course, an AMBOSS Membership that extends beyond the term of the Individual License Agreement for the AMBOSS Course, the Authorized User may continue to access the on-demand content of the AMBOSS Course for at least ten additional months for reference purposes.
5.7.5. During the term of the Individual License Agreement for AMBOSS Courses, ordinary termination without cause is excluded.
5.7.6. Both the Authorized User and AMBOSS have the right to extraordinary termination for good cause. Such a reason exists in particular if one party materially violates obligations arising from the AMBOSS Terms of Use and thereby significantly damages the interests of the other party. On the part of AMBOSS, a reason for extraordinary termination exists in particular if (i) the Authorized User is in arrears with a due payment for more than 10 working days after receipt of a payment reminder, (ii) AMBOSS permanently ceases operations or discontinues the contractual service, (iii) the licensing of the AMBOSS Program or AMBOSS itself are subject to restrictions under trade law due, or (iv) there are concrete indications that the Authorized User is on an official sanctions list.
5.7.7. Extraordinary termination is possible without notice. Notice of termination may only be given in text form, for example by e-mail or letter. In the event of extraordinary termination, there is no entitlement to reimbursement of the usage fees already paid.
5.8. Availability of the AMBOSS Program
5.8.1. AMBOSS will use commercially reasonable efforts to make the AMBOSS Program available and accessible for use via the Internet for Authorized Users.
5.8.2. AMBOSS provides the AMBOSS Program with an availability of at least 99.1% in relation to the calendar year. This percentage refers to the period outside of planned unavailabilities. Planned unavailabilities are the daily update and maintenance times regulated in Section 5.8.3 and the further maintenance times regulated in Section 5.8.4. Such restrictions shall not be taken into account when determining availability.
5.8.3. Update and maintenance work may be carried out between 6 and 10pm Eastern Time. During this time, the AMBOSS Program may be temporarily unavailable or only available to a limited extent.
5.8.4. AMBOSS will indicate further foreseeable maintenance work at least 24 hours in advance by means of a notice on the website. Maintenance times notified in good time are not deemed to be unavailability in accordance with Section 5.8.2, provided they do not last longer than 120 minutes.
6.1. In cases where AMBOSS initially makes the AMBOSS Membership available free of charge as a trial access or as part of a special offer for a limited period of time, only a limited range of functions may be available. In these cases, there is no entitlement to permanent use. AMBOSS also reserves the right to limit the scope of functions at any time or to terminate the use of the AMBOSS Program completely. The AMBOSS Terms of Use apply, in particular the limitations of liability in Section 16 of the AMBOSS Terms of Use.
6.2. Before submitting the activation request, the Authorized User has the opportunity to view and correct the information provided on an overview page. By confirming the button marked accordingly, the Authorized User confirms the accuracy of the information provided and agrees to the AMBOSS Terms of Use, which can be viewed and archived at www.amboss.com/us/legal/terms. By completing the activation process, the Authorized User submits an offer to conclude a contract for the use of the AMBOSS Program. AMBOSS will confirm receipt of the offer to the Authorized User electronically (activation confirmation). AMBOSS accepts this offer by activating access to the AMBOSS Program.
6.3. Upon expiry of the trial period or special offer, the free-of-charge usage agreement automatically converts into a paid Individual License Agreement for AMBOSS Membership unless the Authorized User cancels beforehand. If the Authorized User does not cancel before the end of the trial or special offer, the Authorized User is aware that the usage agreement will continue under the applicable license fee for an Individual License Agreement for AMBOSS Membership and authorizes AMBOSS to collect the applicable fee using the payment method provided. Authorized Users may cancel their Individual License Agreement for AMBOSS Membership at any time with effect from the earliest possible termination date via their user account or AMBOSS customer service. The earliest possible termination date depends on the respective offer model. For any trials or special offers converted to an Individual License Agreements, Section 5 of the AMBOSS Terms of Use applies.
6.4. In case of free usage, both AMBOSS and the Authorized User are entitled to terminate the contractual relationship with immediate effect without giving reasons.
6.5. The AMBOSS Program is no longer available after the free usage period has expired. The mere user account remains.
7.1. AMBOSS may offer Authorized Users the option to purchase digital voucher codes with a fixed monetary value ("Voucher Codes"). A Voucher Code may be redeemed within its validity period in accordance with the AMBOSS Terms of Use.
7.2. The purchase of a Voucher Code constitutes a contract between AMBOSS and the purchaser of the Voucher Code ("Voucher Purchase Agreement"). Redemption of a Voucher Code ("Redemption")—either by the purchaser or by another person designated by the purchaser ("Redeeming Person")—creates a claim to a credit with AMBOSS, which can be used for the acquisition of eligible Individual License Agreements in accordance with the AMBOSS Terms of Use ("AMBOSS Credit"). The Redeeming Person acquires no rights under the Voucher Purchase Agreement. Each time AMBOSS Credit is applied to use the AMBOSS Program, an Individual License Agreement between AMBOSS and the Redeeming Person is concluded in accordance with Section 5. of the AMBOSS Terms of Use.
7.3. Voucher Codes are purchased through a third-party payment provider and represent a fixed monetary value. Redemption of a Voucher Code is a single, complete transaction that transfers the full value of the Voucher Code to an account linked to the Redeeming Person’s user account ("AMBOSS Credit Account"). After the transfer, AMBOSS holds the resulting AMBOSS Credit, which may subsequently be used, in whole or in part, for eligible Individual License Agreements in the AMBOSS Shop under the AMBOSS Terms of Use.
7.4. Voucher Codes may only be purchased through the purchasing and payment methods provided by AMBOSS and its third-party payment providers. Section 5.5. of the AMBOSS Terms of Use applies accordingly to the purchase process and payment methods.
7.5. Voucher Codes are valid for three years from the date of purchase. The exact expiration date will be communicated to the purchaser in writing. After expiration, the Voucher Code becomes void without replacement. Redemption in cash or conversion into other services is excluded.
7.6. Once a Voucher Code has been redeemed and the resulting AMBOSS Credit fully transferred to the Redeeming Person’s AMBOSS Credit Account, the Voucher Code itself becomes invalid.
7.7. Redemptions of Voucher Codes are irrevocable. Withdrawal, reversal, or exchange of the redeemed amount is excluded, regardless of whether the Redeeming Person is the purchaser or a designated third party. Corrections of erroneous or accidental redemptions are not possible.
7.8. If the value of the AMBOSS Credit exceeds the usage fee of a selected Individual License Agreement, the remaining balance stays in the Redeeming Person’s AMBOSS Credit Account for future purchases. If the value of the AMBOSS Credit is lower than the purchase price, the difference must be paid using the payment methods provided by AMBOSS. Transfer of redeemed AMBOSS Credit between different user accounts is excluded.
7.9. AMBOSS Credit may only be used for AMBOSS Memberships or combined purchases of an AMBOSS Membership with corresponding add-ons and/or AMBOSS Courses. Orders consisting solely of AMBOSS Courses cannot be paid with AMBOSS Credit.
7.10. A Voucher Code is considered delivered and active from the moment of purchase.
7.11. The purchaser of a Voucher Code is not entitled to resell or otherwise transfer the Voucher Code to third parties for consideration without prior written consent from AMBOSS. Unauthorized transfers may be sanctioned by AMBOSS through blocking the Voucher Code or refusing redemption. AMBOSS’s statutory claims, including claims for injunctive relief and damages, remain unaffected.
7.12. Refunds related to a Voucher Purchase Agreement may only be made to the original purchaser and exclusively through the payment method used for the purchase via the third-party payment provider. Once the Voucher Code has been redeemed and the AMBOSS Credit transferred to the Redeeming Person’s AMBOSS Credit Account, neither the purchaser nor the Redeeming Person has any right to a refund of the Voucher Code.
7.13. If a Redeeming Person deletes their AMBOSS account, any remaining AMBOSS Credit from redeemed Voucher Codes is forfeited. The Redeeming Person has no right to reclaim, transfer, or reuse this credit. AMBOSS has no obligation to compensate for lost credit in such cases.
7.14. In the event of a chargeback, cancellation, or other reversal of the original transaction used to purchase a Voucher Code or load AMBOSS Credit, AMBOSS reserves the right to remove the corresponding AMBOSS Credit from the AMBOSS Credit Account. If the AMBOSS Credit has already been partially or fully used for Individual License Agreements, AMBOSS may cancel access to these Individual License Agreements and/or demand repayment of the outstanding amount. All other claims of AMBOSS remain unaffected.
In order to enable an optimal learning experience as well as the evaluation and monitoring of learning and examination performance of Authorized Users, AMBOSS offers Institutional Partners the function that learning achievements (usage data) can be viewed by educators and their staff via different dashboards (“Insights Dashboards”). This allows students to be individually supported in their learning achievements via the AMBOSS Program and educators to obtain an overall picture of the students' learning performance. If Insights Dashboards are agreed, AMBOSS provided educators of the respective institution and their staff with usage data of their participating students via the Insights Dashboards. The data provided may only be used by educators and their staff for the purposes stated above. The concerned Authorized Users will be informed in advance about the activation of this additional function. Further details can be found in the data protection information at www.amboss.com/us/legal/privacy.

The user agrees that the user will not use AMBOSS AI Features with the intention of creating any kind of physician/patient relationship, e.g., to diagnose or treat users. The user is solely responsible for evaluating the information obtained from the AMBOSS AI Features and for the use or misuse of such information in connection with treatment decisions or otherwise. The user must not rely primarily on recommendations generated by AMBOSS AI Features to make any clinical diagnosis or treatment decisions.

9.2. AMBOSS AI Features must not be used in time-sensitive or emergency situations.
9.3. AMBOSS AI Features that are provided for clinical support (e.g. the Literature Seach Agent, AMBOSS Assistants for clinical practice) are intended for use by physicians and other healthcare professionals only and are only offered for use outside the European Union. By using such AMBOSS AI Features, the user represents and warrants to be a healthcare professional outside of the European Union.
9.4. The user hereby represents, warrants and covenants to AMBOSS that the user has removed and will remove any and all personal information and/or protected health information of any patient or other third party (“Protected Information”) from any data or information that the user inputs into or otherwise provides to the AMBOSS AI Features.
10.1. AMBOSS provides Authorized Users with the opportunity to present themselves with their user profile and their activities in the AMBOSS network and to make contact with other Authorized Users and interact, for example, via shared notes. It is possible to make various information (e.g. name, institution, department, subject area, etc.) accessible and findable for other Authorized Users. The Authorized User can activate or deactivate this function in the user account by making all or individual information accessible and findable for all or only certain Authorized Users by making the appropriate settings.
10.2. If the Authorized User wishes to network with another Authorized User on AMBOSS, he or she can submit a contact request, which will be sent to the requested Authorized User’s user account and/or by e-mail by AMBOSS. The requested Authorized User has the option of accepting or rejecting the request.
10.3. By activating the AMBOSS network function, the Authorized User agrees that AMBOSS will inform him a) by message through the user account and/or b) by e-mail about contact requests from other Authorized Users and forward messages from accepted contacts.
11.1. The AMBOSS Program includes features that allow Authorized Users to upload their own content (e.g., notes, documents, or teaching materials) and store it in their user account for individual use or share it with other users.
11.2. AMBOSS may review user-generated content, but is generally not obligated to do so. AMBOSS reserves the right to take measures regarding the availability, presentation, and accessibility of user-generated content if there are justified reasons. Justified reasons may include, without limitation:
Dangerous, misleading, and illegal content are hereinafter collectively referred to as “Violating Content”.
11.3. AMBOSS may take various measures regarding Violating Content, taking into account multiple factors such as the context of the subject matter, the severity, and the frequency of violations. Measures may include, without limitation, removing content, restricting discoverability, blocking specific functions (e.g., uploading or sharing), and—in the case of repeated and/or severe violations—suspending or terminating user accounts.
11.4. Any person may report content they consider hazardous, misleading, or illegal using the AMBOSS reporting form in the website footer or via email to notification@amboss.com. The owner of the content will not be informed of the reporter’s identity, except as required by law. AMBOSS reviews incoming reports promptly in accordance with the AMBOSS Terms of Use and applicable law and informs the affected person of the decision regarding the reported content.
11.5. Abuse of the reporting procedure may result in the reporter being prohibited from submitting further reports; repeated violations may also lead to the blocking or deletion of the reporter’s user account.
11.6. If AMBOSS removes content, restricts discoverability, blocks functions, or suspends or terminates user accounts due to Violating Content, the affected person will receive a justification for the action via the contact details provided in their profile.
11.7. In cases of severe violations, AMBOSS may terminate the contract with the affected person with immediate effect. Suspension or termination does not release the user from existing obligations to pay already due Usage Fees.

To the extent necessary, AMBOSS may sublicense these rights to affiliated companies of the AMBOSS Group or to third-party service providers connected to the AMBOSS Program. All other rights, including intellectual property rights, remain with the Authorized User.
